Te Puia - Rotorua, NZ tours

it was amazing, the guide was so knowledgeable and has explained everything properly. the haka performance was too good. overall experience was great. one must visit thiss to know about Māori culture and how they live their lives.

Absolutely loved the Hobbiton Movie Set Tour—it truly felt like stepping into Middle-earth! The scenery was breathtaking, the guides were knowledgeable and entertaining, and every little detail of the set was beautifully preserved. The stories behind the filming locations made it even more special. The bus ride from The Shire’s Rest was smooth and well-organized, and the complimentary drink at The Green Dragon Inn was such a perfect ending to the tour. Highly recommended for both fans of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, or anyone who enjoys nature and storytelling. Definitely worth it—a must-do in New Zealand! 💚

My family and I love the tour in overall. our tour guide, she was so professional and friendly (8:10 am 7/12). we are blessed with the good nice weather. i recommend to go in the morning, as it’s not that hot during summer.

We joined the Rotorua tour with CheekyKiwi Tours and had Jeoff as our driver/guide. He was professional, friendly, and made the journey enjoyable with his humor and stories. Wai-O-Tapu’s geothermal wonders were breathtaking, the Polynesian Spa was the perfect place to relax, and the Rotorua city tour gave great local flavor. Jeoff’s care, attentiveness, and knowledge made the day unforgettable. Highly recommend both CheekyKiwi Tours and Jeoff!

Although it was a sunny day on the day of the visit, the temperature was not high. Walking in the geothermal valley, I felt that the temperature was very comfortable. The park provided a generous buffet (a meal cost more than NT$1,000, but we did not eat it). Most of the food uses geothermal heat. Steam it so that tourists can taste the taste of food cooked by geothermal heat.

Hanoz was our guide. He made the 8 in the group introduced ourselves. I enjoyed the caves mostly. My son loves the geysers. Anyway, I love that they were generous with their bottled drinking water and snacks. Their transport allows you to charge your phones. The ostrich feeding experience was fun.

We loved everything about The Living Maori Village. Our guide was amazing and we loved listening to her stories as a child growing up there. She explained village life beautifully and with such great respect. We enjoyed eating corn on the cob cooked to perfection from the geothermal spring. We added onto our ticket to see the cultural show and I'm so glad we did. It was truly magnificent.

This trip to Hobbiton movie set and rotatua is awesome! Im not a Ring of Lords fan myself, but i still enjoyed every bit of the tour and all the details explaination. Cant wait to watch ring of lords when i have the chance. The Te puia wonderland is fun and beautiful as well!
